DIVIDEND WITHHOLDING TAX

We can reclaim the overpaid withholding tax on your dividends & securities

Every year governments apply an estimated $3.7 billion withholding tax to overseas securities each year. It is standard practice for the country of issue to apply a withholding tax to the portfolio income of non-resident investors.

Most investors are unaware that foreign withholding tax can be reclaimed in full or at least in part. If you've never filed a reclaim, the amount at stake could be substantial. Taxback.com can apply for this refund on your behalf.

Tax Treaties

Countries regularly enter into bilateral agreements called income tax treaties.

Withholding tax reclaims arise because the rate permitted under the terms of the treaty is less than the default rate applied by most foreign governments. In most cases the only way to obtain your legal entitlement is to file a reclaim.
